can't pgp sign
Hi, I've got pgp (ver. 6.5.8i) working outside of mutt. I can also verify signed msgs after I get their public keys outside of mutt. But I can't sign outgoing msgs. After selecting the (s)ign command from the pgp menu enter my passphrase, I get a received signal 11 press any key to continue... message and the message doesn't get sent. What's signal 11? Which manual should I look into -- pgp or mutt? Dazed and confused... :) Horace -- Horace G.

Do you have source "/usr/local/src/mutt-1.2.5/contrib/pgp6.rc" in .muttrc? (with the appropriate path for your machine) This is probably not the problem, but it's necessary. PGP 6.5.8 and pgp6.rc don't work smoothly together when encrypting to an untrusted key. When sending to an untrusted key PGP promts: WARNING: Because this public key is not certified with a trusted signature, it is not known with high confidence that this public key actually belongs to: "Nancy Nobody nosuchperson@nowhere". Are you sure you want to use this public key (y/N)? Mutt apparently does not pass a "y" response back to PGP and so the encryption fails due to the default "N." If the key is trusted the question is not asked and the encryption succeeds. I asked about a fix for this before but got no responses. Fiddling around today I found a hack that's ugly but works: remove the +batch from the encrypt command in pgp6.rc. During the encryption process after the prompt: Are you sure you want to use this public key (y/N)? appears, answer "y", then blindly "y" again and enter. The encrypted message will be sent. BTW, signing and verifying work for me within Mutt. HTH, -rex PGP signature

Do you have source "/usr/local/src/mutt-1.2.5/contrib/pgp6.rc" yes, it's in ~/.mutt/muttrc. I changed all "pgp6" to just plain "pgp" for pgp to work within mutt. And I removed this entry that was in the bottom of pgp6.rc set pgp_getkeys_command="pkspxycwrap %r" because it causes an error whenever I try to verify sigs in signed msgs. in .muttrc?

When sending to an untrusted key PGP promts: I tried encrypting a message that I addressed to myself and to another who is in my pubring and both don't work. Seems like I need to do more tweaking. Any ideas? Thanks.
